2023/24

The Commissioner proposed a budget for 2023/24 to the Warwickshire Police and Crime Panel on 6 February 2023.  You can see the proposed budget and associated documents on the links below:

The panel voted to support the budget and Commissioner’s proposal to increase the Police Precept by 5.3%, equivalent to £14 per year on an average Band D property, or around 27 pence per week.

The panel wrote to the Commissioner on 8 February 2023 to confirm their support for the budget.

The Commissioner wrote back to the Panel acknowledging their comments on 16 February 2023.

2022/23

From December  2021 to January 2022, the Police and Crime Commissioner ran a public consultation asking the public for their feedback on how best to meet the challenges facing police in the county.

Local residents and businesses were asked to consider whether they would support an increase in the policing element of Council Tax or whether they would prefer to freeze the level of the Police Precept. Background information was provided on the potential impact of precept increases at £5 per year, £7.50 per year or £10 per year (for average Band D properties), along with the impact of no rise.  Questions relating to the affordability of a rise were also considered by the Commissioner prior to formulating his draft budget proposals.

The consultation showed there was a majority of support for a raise, albeit with around a third of respondents concerned that any raise would unaffordable to them.  A full summary of the consultation results can be found below:

Budget Consultation Results 2022-23

As a result of the feedback received from the public and confirmation of national funding settlements, the Commissioner proposed a police precept increase of  3.95%. This equates to £9.99 a year, or around 83 pence per month for a Band D property.  The Commissioner’s Draft 2022-23 Warwickshire Budget Report was then presented to the Police and Crime Panel on January 27, 2023.

The Panel reviewed the proposed precept and chose not to support the proposed increase for 2022/23, exercising their right to veto, by issuing a report to the Commissioner on 3 February 2022:

The Commissioner considered the comments and report from the Panel and in doing so has issued his revised precept proposals for 2022/23, which he presented to the Panel on 10 February.  A majority of panel members voted to support the proposals.

The Commissioner formally wrote to the panel in response to their report on 14 February 2022:

The Panel replied to confirm their support of the revised budget proposals on 17 February and the Commissioner’s letter of reply to the Panel was made on 18 February 2022:
